on twitter i saw #mm as a trending topic and thought that it ment mad men was popular on twitter but it stands for music mondays. i will give it up for twitter in that it could have given the right users the some of the best news coverage on the health care vote on sat.. !cspan!, yes but i don't really want to wade through the whole speeches. at the end of the day, it really seems like it was nancy pelosi's moment for the history books. the stupak amendment is terrible but this is who the entire country elected and why not have the rules reflect that? it's just means pro choice fat cats could/need to pony up and provide private/non-profit finicial assitance for aboritions and those docs just need to find a way to make it work finicially for them. it remains unideal but almost 40 million people will gain at least decent health insurance with this bill.

box office deep thoughts. cameron diaz opens at 8mil with donnie darko director's, the box, this past weekend and g. clooney opened at like 15 for some movie about what you might call goat whispering but from the previews it looks like he's in the recent/current military and he like puts wordless spells on goats or some shit. neither of the films are mainstream fare. i wouldn't say like some that clooney is twice the star of diaz but rather seeing how both films got less than great reviews from everywhere i checked, it seems more about good will for clooney kinda like when johnny depp opened some off-beat yet still critically questioned films around the pirates of the caribbean trilogy and now he has a movie out over the summer with some stars in support that gets quality reviews and it disappoints money wise, which is what i see upcoming with clooney unless he really strings some quality oceans/syriana flicks. diaz has a decent repuation money making wise and being john malkovich, is of course a popular(with audiences and critics), off beat film she did and darko is in that same class if you look at like what film would say someone like me watch once again and on and on , the current hit movie, where the wild things are, had the same director of malkovich. it also shows that if you get a big star in the lead of some well lit art house film, with a marketing budget, it'll open at around 10mil, which is a shit load of money by the way. and then it's like well what if the movie got as good of reviews as spiderman 1 did.
,,looking forward to the next season of mad men!
